A shocking video from Tamil Nadu showcases a devastating incident involving a Tata Harrier EV. Reports suggest the car was utilizing its summon mode, or may have had a malfunction, resulting in a collision with a person attempting to get into the car. The victim received a severe head injury and tragically passed away. The summon mode enables the vehicle to move autonomously at low speeds without direct driver control. Investigations are ongoing to ascertain whether the accident was caused by a technical malfunction or user error. No legal proceedings have been initiated. The Harrier EV is equipped with numerous advanced features, including driver-assist technologies and summon capabilities. The provided video shows the car’s hazard lights were blinking before it moved. Tata has yet to release an official comment. The incident has triggered discussions concerning the safety implications of features like ADAS and summon in the Indian context, underscoring the need for heightened vigilance when using these systems.
